Right off the bat im going to say that; Im sincerly sorry for everyone who has intel CPUs.
and now that that is said i appologise to anyone on this planet who reads the afformentioned and is offended by it because of theyr like for intel which i do NOT share

its still in the works it will eventually become the computer that i posted in the "what is the ultimate gaming PC" thread

dude, all I can say is that you havn't slept through noise until you've slepted through SCSI drives that sound like turbines to begin with and FBSD doing periodical jobs at 3AM. First time that happened to me was like 9 years ago, I was passed out drunk and I heard what sounded like an f14 taking off under my bed (I had a loft bed with my comp desk under it). I jump up, nail my head on my ceiling and go "HOLY %#^!Q#%# I'M BEING OWNED!!!"

Yeah.... I got used to that REAL quick.

sounds like me after the alarm doesnt work and lets me wait for my radio

it is turned to max volume(the max volume is like 45 with 3 ticks for each level of intensity) on wakeup and on my metal station

what!! it gets me up!
when we lived in north carolina i slept through hurricane fran(no exaguration whatsoever!!!!!) it was a cat 2 when it hit our house!

I also have a Gateway Laptop, and 2 other desktops that are built out of spare parts that I have acquired over the years.

Lol, I wasn't even going to bother posting the various skeletal zombie machines lurking around my room. Come to think of it, that's pretty mean to my REAL machines. I'll have to rebuild a big server or something.

"We can rebuild him! We have the technology!"

Anyone have an animated GIF of RoboPeter from Family Guy. Everytime I see that I snort milk out of my nose...and I'm not even drinking milk.

i must admit i am a little biased against intel processors and all...but i have a strange strange feeling that they are gonna kick arse when there next line of processors hit the market...i don't know just maybe

Compared to my rig in the past pages, this one kicks ass. It is perfect for 3d rendering, nearly 5x faster than my P4 machine

with building myself and shopping around, the whole machine cost me £550 LOL... it does sound like a plane taking off though.

I received two new servers when I was in the Marines that had 5 SCSI 15k hard drives and 4 180mm fans. When both powered up at the same time it was insanely loud. They weren't rack mounts.

I have a question about servers. When you are running a dedicated game server, would I be correct in saying that a graphics card does not factor at all? I thought that dedicated servers do only calculations and no graphic computations at all.

graphics are not a big deal when dealing with servers. However, you do need one so you can hook a monitor to it. Servers are more for processing power and efficiency than making something look pretty.

nahh, my main comp which is a p4 and 6800, only has the HSF on both and is running almost all day... temps never get too high... gonna stick a couple of 180mm's in there evantually... (when i next have to order something)

lol, if i were to leave my computer on all day, it would bring my room to a toasty 30ºc. my gfx card idles at 60ºc and the ambient temp inside the case is 40...
